Emergency Room

Jump to Comments

Age 16Diary | Age 16 | Tacoma

I awoke at 2:00 AM this morning with the most severe lower abdominal pain I have encountered in my life. I was so angry and upset.

My father drove me to the Allenmore medical center emergency room. There, a group of very kind people examined, poked, and proded [sic] me.

A woman took my blood but I didn’t panic.

They gave me new antibiotics (it was the other that caused my pain) and a narcotic pain killer.

The following day I did not attend school. I instead made paper for Simone’s invitations. Tomorrow I will pass out the invites, and give my Leonardo Da Vinci report. I am looking forward to seeing my darling Michael.

  • Age 31 | Ah yes, the night we discovered that I am allergic to sulfa. Horrific. Strange to imagine that I wouldn’t have been able to contact “Mike” to let him know why I wasn’t at school (sans cell phone and email). Perhaps he called my house at lunch.

  • HAHA I just finished watching your Mortified set on Vimeo. I loved it! Who is Michael? *nudge nudge* *wink wink*

    PS what is sulfa? lol

  • Hi Erik! “Michael” was that 6-year relationship I mentioned in Algebra. He was my first bf and I was pretty infatuated with him. ;)

  • Wow! 6 years I still can’t believe how long that is, whew. XD

  • Oh my god, Sarah. Just finished watching your “mortified” reading. Brilliant! I too am a product of thr 90’s, was born in 79, and where you had vampires, I had unicorns and fairies. I swear I believed unicorns truly existed, and not just on my lisa frank trapper keeper folders. Can’t wait to see what’s next…

  • Dear Erica, So glad you liked it! I know what you mean – you can take a girl out of the 90’s, but you can’t.. Best, SH
